Hello All..!

Today, I came to know that CNC Machines are being used to cut plastic and foam for Packaging and this is more reliable and cost effective solution. Most of the packaging equipment is automated for efficiency and faster production times. Now a days packaging machines are controlled with CNC machines, which allow us to reduce labor costs.
Routers, Mills and Cutters etc are more effective then that of Molding and additive techniques for such purposes. When it comes to packaging it doesn't refer to the outer box itself as it also include inserts and foam inner casings etc.
There are many Packaging companies offering custom boxes of different sizes and packaging foam is one of most widely used material one sees inside boxes to prevent transportation damage.

If you have experienced these please suggest which material would you recommend to use inside of these custom cardboard boxes (Plastic or Foam) and which CNC machines best suits for this purpose according to you?
